Gen 1 USB power tap

[gggGary]

Pulled the hazard switch and installed a dual USB port in it's place but haven't tapped the wires yet. Anyone done this? trying to NOT make a hash of the wiring. The fuse box is right next to this. I have relays and am considering using one but the USB port is a fairly low draw.

What USB port did you use?

No relay should be required. Even the newer high output USB adapters required by Iphones only draw a few of amps.

My hazard switch works when it wants to, and I refuse to spring $35 plus shipping for a new one. I have never needed to use it in anger

Sounds like a decent use for that space.

Should have used one like this, might even be a drop in fit

And the volt meter is pure bonus



But I had a round one with a push in cover and LED power indicator, So I hacked away at the panel till it fit, it looks good now that it's in.
